The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 2010 Why not just give up and surrender?

Asgard.

"Report!"

Yao Xuanji raised her head, looked at the guards in front of her, and calmly said, "Speak!"

The guard respectfully reported: "The Three Saints Sect's starship traveled westward and arrived at Ghost King's Tomb. Ghost King's Tomb Sect Master Lu Yunda went to the starship to pay respects to the Three Saints Sect's experts. Less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Lu Yunda was killed."

"Ghost King's Tomb activated its protective array and closed its gates. The Starfield Flying Ship used its giant cannons to shatter the protective array of Ghost King's Tomb and then stormed into Ghost King's Tomb."

"Ghost King's Tomb has fallen. All those who resisted have been killed. All disciples with the strength of immortals or above have become war servants, following the Three Saints Sect's flying boat westward."

"Based on the trajectory of the Three Saints Sect's flying boat, their destination should be the Immortal Palace."

Yao Xuanji's eyes widened in shock as she exclaimed, "Even Ghost King's Tomb has been defeated?"

"Yes!"

Yao Xuanji turned to look at the silent Cao Hechuan beside her: "Grandpa Cao, what are they doing? They're not even sparing the Ghost King's Tomb. Are they planning to conquer all the sects?"

Cao Hechuan's expression was grave: "They're planning to fight their way all the way to the Immortal Palace, to show everyone that they either kneel and surrender or stand and die."

Yao Xuanji looked distressed: "We probably can't stop them."

Cao Hechuan smiled bitterly and slowly shook his head.

"The Palace Master has been in seclusion and has not yet emerged, clearly indicating that he has not yet successfully broken through to the Great Luo realm. The Three Saints Sect is coming with overwhelming force, led by a Great Luo Venerable. Who can stop them!"

Yao Xuanji sighed: "So, the day they arrive will be the day we run away?"

Cao Hechuan nodded and gently advised, "We have done all we can. As long as we have a clear conscience, that's enough. If we force a war, it will only get us into trouble and won't serve any purpose."

Yao Xuanji said with a wry smile, "Da Luo, this is an insurmountable chasm!"

Cao Hechuan was silent for a few seconds, then said softly, "Even if the Palace Master successfully breaks through and advances to the Great Luo realm, he may not be able to stop the people from the Three Saints Sect. Since they have come, they will naturally take over the Thunder Immortal Realm with overwhelming force and will not give us another chance."

Yao Xuanji hummed in agreement: "Any news about Lin Chen?"

Cao Hechuan shook his head: "After sending a message from the Heavenly Demon Continent, he went to the Flower Plains in the far south of the Heavenly Demon Continent and has been missing ever since. However, if he learns that the Three Saints Sect is coming to the Immortal Palace, he will definitely come to the Immortal Palace in advance..."

Yao Xuanji looked worried: "I wish he wouldn't come. By the way, how's the situation at Shenmu Palace?"

Cao Hechuan replied, "Shenmu Palace is not on the path of the Three Saints Sect. If the Three Saints Sect does not deliberately go to Shenmu Palace, Shenmu Palace should not be in danger."

Yao Xuanji was silent for a few seconds: "Let's continue to monitor their movements. If they arrive before Father has emerged from seclusion, then we'll leave!"

"it is good!"

After Cao Hechuan left, Yao Xuanji turned her head and looked at Lin Chen's longevity lamp.

Lin Chen, where did you go?

Are you ok?

……

The Heavenly Demon Continent.

Heavenly Fox Palace. In the main hall, of the seven sects of the Round Table Meeting, six have already arrived, leaving only the Heavenly Wolf Palace yet to arrive.

Su Quan sat in his seat with a solemn expression. The other sect leaders had similar expressions, whispering among themselves, looking uneasy.

"No wait!"

Su Quan tapped the table lightly with her slender fingers, attracting everyone's attention.

"The Three Saints Sect has crossed the Milky Way and marched westward from the far east. Their goal is clearly the Immortal Palace. Along the way, all the sects they encountered were conquered. Those who surrendered became servants, and those who resisted vanished into thin air. Now, behind their starship, there are tens of thousands of immortals following the ship."

"Ghost King's Tomb, one of the Ten Great Immortal Sects, was destroyed because its sect leader hesitated. The sect leader was killed and Ghost King's Tomb was forcibly taken over, resulting in countless deaths and injuries. All the survivors became servants and followed the flying boat into battle."

"Now, all the sects on the Three Saints Sect's starfield flying boat's route have either surrendered on the spot or fled at the mere sight of them; not a single sect dares to resist."

"Although this matter is currently taking place on the Tianxuan Continent, the Three Saints Sect is coming with great force. After taking over the Tianxuan Continent, other continents will inevitably be affected as well. Not to mention the Star Domain Flying Ships and the Great Luo Venerables, even their subjugated servant army would be enough to help them flatten the entire Thunder Immortal Domain."

"Our Heavenly Demon Continent has always been independent, but judging from this situation, it seems that we will find it difficult to remain as independent as before. What are your thoughts?"

Everyone looked somewhat uneasy, after all, the Three Saints Sect's trip was too grand.

Mount Tai is overwhelming!

Destroy everything!

Who can stop them?

Ghost King's Tomb, one of the Ten Great Immortal Sects, was made an example of by the Three Saints Sect for hesitating and not surrendering cleanly. They were exterminated. If Ghost King's Tomb could be treated like this, who could withstand it?

"Close the domain gate!"

Someone suggested, "Let's close all the domain gates. Maybe they'll just give up when they see they can't get here. After all, our Heavenly Demon Continent is just one of many continents. If we go to all that trouble, they might think it's unnecessary."

“That’s definitely a solution!”

"Putting everything else aside, at least we can delay their arrival. Isn't it said that Great Luo Venerables can't stay in the Middle Immortal Realm for long? Maybe if we delay them for a while, they'll go back. Even if the Heavenly Dao Alliance takes over the management, we can always negotiate with them."

"Yes, I support it!"

Most people responded to the proposal to close the domain gate, but dissenting voices immediately arose.

“But if we close the domain gate, it would be tantamount to disrespecting the Three Saints Sect and refusing to submit to them. If they attack us later, do you think they will let us off the hook?”

"Let's not even talk about the Grand Luo Venerable of the Three Saints Sect. Aren't the people from the Heavenly Dao Alliance right here on our Heavenly Demon Continent? With them around, how can we possibly close the domain gate?"

"In my opinion, as the old saying goes, 'A wise man submits to circumstances.' The Three Saints Sect's rule over the Thunder Immortal Realm is an inevitable trend. Why don't we take advantage of this and surrender the Heavenly Demon Continent to the Three Saints Sect?"

“They always need someone to help manage them. Our Heavenly Demon Continent has always been managed by the demon race. So, even if we hand over the Heavenly Demon Continent, the management will still fall on our shoulders. Although we have someone above us, we are still the actual managers.”

"I think it's a good idea. Look at those who surrendered voluntarily, they're all fine, aren't they? Let's not stubbornly fight them. What do we have to fight them with!"

Suddenly, loud laughter rang out at the entrance of the main hall. Amid the laughter, a group of people entered the hall. Leading them was none other than the Demon Emperor Kong Ling, and walking beside him was Xuan Yuan Feiying.

Kong Ling laughed loudly, "Those who understand the times are wise. That's a good point. We've come this far, and you're still thinking about resisting? What do you have to resist with? Besides, the domain gate is already in our hands. Even if you wanted to close it, it would be impossible. Why not just surrender?"
